World Leading Research

The results of the 2021 Research Excellence Framework (REF2021) showed that 96% of the ERPE's research activity was ranked as 'world-leading' and 'internationally excellent'. We have an international reputation for innovative research across a wide range of disciplines. Research in the School of Engineering at Edinburgh is carried out in 7 Research Institutes, which cover a broad range of Research Themes.

Our academics and students produce World Class research that is published in all of the top scientific journals and cited 10000s of times. A list of recent articles published by Chemical Engineers at Edinburgh can be generated by Google Scholar.

Our work spans from fundamental to applied and is funded through numerous routes including UK and International Research Councils, Industry and other bodies such as the Royal Academy of Engineering. At any time, a number of our academics hold prestigious Research Fellowships that allow them to spend more of their time focussing on reasearch.
